I may give completetax.com a look this year. Due to some sort of mixup, I had to file manually last year so I won't have the advantage of having all my info saved with HR Block this time around. I saw a commercial for completetax.com where you can file free if you collected unemployment last year, which I did.

I think you're crazy to not use an accountant if you have itemized deductions. I know K-G will probably tell me I'm nuts or whatever, but my accountant is the furthest thing from a "scumbag" and we make out MUCh better than we ever have with turbotax.

Just filed my federal online with hrblock.com. Got a hair under $2100 which I was pretty happy with. Pennsylvania won't let me e-file so I'll have to hold off on that (won't be getting nearly as much back anyway).

They just know what you can write off vs. what you can't.

Nah, if you itemize I got no problem with using an accountant. It's the idiots with simple returns that use accountants that I laugh at.

finally went through with Turbo Tax. I'm getting 225 more with TT than the other site I assume becuase it asked me more about my heath savings account. Either way, win!! Site said I should have it around 2/18.

I have my state tax forms in the mail, but the feds didn't send me a booklet. Also waiting for my 1099-MISC from Stump, but I have my W2-G, my losing tickets to claim against it, and my bank interest/stock income forms, and of course, my Schedule HC. Let's see what I get.
